Eliminating Discrimination: Good Practices Questionnaire

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
The purpose of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is to ensure the removal of any laws and practices that “directly discriminate against women,” and to “create an environment in which women’s rights can be fulfilled.”

The United Nations Working Group on the issue of discrimination against women in law and practice has released a call for information submissions to its questionnaire on good practices in “eliminating discrimination and empowering women.” The submissions will serve contribution to its next thematic report. The purpose of the report will be to outline which laws regarding women’s equality and human rights that are implemented have and will positively impact women.

Submissions are due by 12 September 2016.
For information on guidelines and access to a copy of the questionnaire, which is available in English, French, and Spanish, please read more here.
